"You will ask me why one keeps a secret for so many years," says Gerardo Scharff (70), a Villamariense who earns his living as a taxi driver in the city.
Scharff will provide details of his experience next Saturday, July 6 at the Medioteca within the framework of the Café Ufológico of the Cirius group
At times his voice breaks, but he continues to narrate his adventure, the one that many would have wished to have.
And what he has to tell is strong, powerful and arouses the curiosity of even the most skeptical: 58 years ago - when he was 12 - he was abducted in an Unidentified Flying Object (UFO), by celestial beings and was with them for 10 days. He knew their customs, their city, their physiognomy and also their feelings.
Scharff followed the orders: "Someone had to make contact with him," he was told, "so that he could put into words everything he experienced when he was a child working as a field laborer. Today, showing a scar, he assures that it has to do with that event."
The beginning
"When I was 7 years old, my parents kicked me out of the house and I ended up working in a field that is going to the end of Buenos Aires Street," he began. The place is located approximately 20 kilometers from Villa María, but - for privacy reasons - and at the request of the person in charge of the property, the location is reserved.
Little Gerardo was in charge of herding the cows for the dairy farm, in his task as a herdsman. He was mistreated, slept on a mattress made of burlap bags and ate little.
"I had a very bad time. I cried and asked the sky, and the stars for someone to help me; that someone came to help me, because I was lying like a dog or perhaps worse," he described.

The lights
One early morning in May 1966, while an intense garúa fell on the rural area, Gerardo prepared to go look for the cows and prepare them for the dairy farm. It was approximately 1.30 a.m.
"The first night I went out with a mare ("La Tuerta") and, while I was preparing the cattle, a white light – the likes of which I have never seen in my life – invaded everything. The whole field lit up and there the cows got up and headed alone towards the milking place. I didn't look out of fear," he described.
"The same thing happened two more nights, until the fourth where the intensity was greater," added Scharff, who said that he always told his boss, but that he never believed him.
"A week later this happened again, but it was different, I began to feel a strange sound and an even more powerful, more intense light; It's like grabbing a flashlight and holding it close to you. I felt a buzzing sound, like when one hits a honeycomb and a ship landing in front of me. It is a flying saucer of approximately 20 meters long by 8 meters wide. Today I call them "ship" and "flying saucer", but at that time I didn't know how to describe it. I was a child who grew up in poverty, who only knew the radio and had no explanation for that," he argued.
At that moment, when the ship was already in contact with the earth, the boy saw how a hatch opened and a light invaded everything. From the door, a long, tall, white being with four fingers said several things to him telepathically, but two very particular ones: "Come" and "Don't be afraid." The voice that spoke to him, today Scharff, cannot define whether it is a man's or a woman's.
"I wanted to escape, and I started to hit the mare with my heels, but she didn't want to come out [...] at that moment they named me: "Gerardo" they told me... and I slacked off a little."
And there, in the midst of the helplessness of poverty and hunger, Scharff headed for a staircase of lights that hardened with every step.
Inside
"When I entered the ship I saw two more beings, all sitting as if they were ready to fly. They were located in seats - which I had never seen and never saw again - with buttons on the armrests [...] when I wanted to turn around to leave there was no longer a door," he recalled.
At that moment, the words he was expressing from his mouth stopped. A powerful headache succumbed to the young man who began to communicate with beings telepathically ("That's how they talked to each other and also to me").
"Inside there was a table all lit and the floor was soft, padded like a carpet," he stressed, although he assured: "What is inside the ship I cannot fully describe, they were as far ahead as 2 million years ahead... I have no doubt that maybe they are from the future."
In dialogue with El Diario, Scharff narrated how he fed himself ("Through a huge tube, similar to a bottle that tasted like strawberries") and said he was not aware of the moments when he slept. Similarly, due to the number of activities they carried out, he estimates that they spent about ten days in flight.
"(They, telepathically), asked me about everything: my life, what I did, why I was there and so on," he added. They also told him secrets of what is to come: hidden issues in the Vatican and World War III.
In that context – inside the warehouse – there were things that appeared and disappeared from one moment to the next: seats, elements and hoses.
"I saw huge stones, about the size of a house," Scharff said, and it was assumed to have been in the asteroid belt. He also saw Saturn and also the planet Earth and the Moon at the same time.
"When we went down, on a trip, the Earth was like talcum powder. In the skies I saw a planet the same color as the Moon, but a little darker, and beyond that, there was another planet that was like brick-colored, reddish. Then, they – seeing that I couldn't breathe – made me walk until I could start breathing. I remember feeling my stomach turn upside down... I don't know if that place was a planet or what," he recalled and remarked: "Something I remember is that I also saw some initials on the ship that I don't know what they mean. But yes, you are going to see the ship or them when they decide," he said.
"When I realized I was standing, sitting, flying or somewhere else.... They told me not to be afraid and, in short, they manage you, you can't do anything," Scharff stressed.
"At that time you didn't know anything, not even the date, the day or the president and I saw (many years before) the color television through the monitors they had inside the ship, even the video calls."
Scharff also claimed to have spent about four hours observing the city of these celestial beings: "They got out, but they opened the window and from there I saw everything. I saw two ships just like the one we were on, others different and some that seemed to be combat ships. The floor was lead colored," he detailed and added: "There were also beings like them, but not the same color, but skin color."
The beings, which were first three, ended up being seven (one of them smaller, who was the one who became the most buddy with Scharff).
"At first, you are afraid because you don't know where you are, you don't know what they are going to do to you. But I was calm when the little boy appeared. They always walked with their right arm and with a movement of their heads. They did not run or have violent attitudes," he said. "As soon as I entered, they handled my head right away and I became "friends"—somehow... I gained confidence, since I went and walked in a warehouse that had no walls... it was like from another dimension."
On one occasion, the interviewee recalls, he appeared naked and lying on a stretcher with needles: "I don't know how it happened, you can't resist... they manage you," he says. At that point, he specified that beings did not understand the concept of "clothing." "I was dressed in a large jacket, a woman's jacket and half-calf boots," he recalled.
The return
But what, at first, generated fear in him, ended up getting him used to it and the moment of farewell was terrible. Seeing our planet from the window, young Gerardo understood that he was going to return. "You have to go back because you belong here," Gerado says a celestial being told him. That being, in addition, assured him that he should not comment on this until he turned 68 years old. In this context, two years ago, Jorge Gorno, a local ufological researcher, contacted him and the story that is published today on this page was born.
Scharff doesn't remember much of his return, only that at one point – when he became conscious again – he was on top of his animal.
"Jorge found out before my wife [...] I told her once that I was going to have a contact, but she didn't believe me," Scharff stressed.
But to remember everything again, in addition to keeping his secret, the taxi driver had to regress with the specialist Néstor Berlanda, a huge paranormal investigator who travels the world.
Those 10 days of travel were (in Earth times) four hours. This is because, when he returned, the ranch boss was looking for him and had gone out on top of his vehicle to tour the area. At that time neither he nor the mare were there... everything remained a mystery. Although Scharff also assures that his skipper, on another occasion, saw lights in the sky.
"I never spoke of Martians or extraterrestrials, but of celestial beings, because that's what they told me they are called," he stressed.
Excited, thinking about what is coming and assuring that there are many secrets to be revealed, he closed: "They are going to come back and we are all going to see them."
_____________________________________________________________________
I think that this is a perfect example of what I previously referred to in a post. Waiting decades to report and encounter but then parts seem to be taken from UFO shows and books from the 1980s on. There is absolutely no evidence that anything Gerardo claims happened actually did happen.
As soon as I read and heard about the psychological and physiological stress Gerardo was under at such a young age I wondered whether this was not so much a hoax as a memory to cover up what he went through as a youngster? Deliberate hoax or psychological? If I went by his account I would have to point out all of the inconsistencies which are not hard to find. I just cannot see that, as he got older and UFOs became far more accepted in Latin America that he still felt the encounter needed to be kept quiet -there was money that could be made and in the life he has described living that would have come in handy.
His claims fall into the Contactee category but with added in Greys types and modern UFO report details.
Psychological or simply a hoax? It could be a little of both.
